Melinda Long had written books before but when she discovered that at the time there were very few children's books about pirates, she decided to write one. About the same time her book was to come out, Disney released Pirates of the Caribbean. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. In this episode: How Melinda got her book published The process of writing a children's book How her work took on a life of it's own via a sequel and a play Thank you so much for tuning in (or back into) the show, this is my first episode as host of this wonderful ship that Phil Johnson built. While he has provided so much support and training to have me take over the show, this first effort has all the marks of "what is this guy thinking?!?" But we have to start somewhere. The interview is lovely, Melinda couldn't have been a better first guest for me, I hope you tune in to listen to this and all upcoming episodes as I get better at this.

Mike Hawthorne is a fantastic visual artist who came to writing later in life with his book The Hungry Horizon. It's historical fiction about the pirate Bartholomew Sharpe who sailed with Henry Morgan before going his own way. Born in Manchester in 1954, well traveled and self taught, Mike Hawthorne has made his reputation in London since 1975 with exhibitions of rock, reggae, and jazz visuals, underground comix and work acquired by the Museum of London and Lembeth Archives. The first nine years of his life were spent in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. His early influences were MAD magazines, illustrations of the American Civil War and television newsreels of Biafra and Vietnam. His paintings also draw on European medieval traditions of depicting heaven and hell. Since 1975 Hawthorne has worked in London, creating rock, reggae and jazz visuals and underground 'comix'.
